Whippe Procedure and Arterial Lines.

How often are you NOT placing an arterial line for a Whipple. I have a surgeon who suggests that it’s not indicated just because it’s a Whipple, and although I could be persuaded, these patients rarely come in with just pancreatic cancer. It’s not like this surgeon is a whiz at them either but I like to hear the thoughts of others here.
